by looking at this weeks pictures, is it fair to say I nute burned her? I cut back the nutes from 1ml to 0.25, also it's been 5 whole weeks with very little to non pistils, should I be worried at this point? She's grown quite a lot in the last 7-10 days.

How often should I be defoliating during flowering? I still have a lot of small low down branches and leaves to cut, I don't really want any popcorn buds.

This is my first indoor grow, is there anything different i should be doing at harvest, other than just chopping it down like with outdoor? What's with the putting plants in the dark for 24+ hours before chopping?

Is it too much, or enough defoliation?
Would be good to hear your thoughts on this. Personally, I keep doing this and think I have positive results by creating multiple branches with equal distance to each other. (I pluck one stem then leave the next and go on like this.) Thanks, Y

Hi everyone, I was thinking about getting a booster for my last couple of weeks of flowering. I feel like I probably have at least 4 weeks left so I am trying to think ahead. Is it wise to use a booster for like cha ching or overdrive with tiger bloom?

Should I cut leaves?
Going into 30th day being a bush. Should I cut some leaves from the top of the bottom, or should I stick to leaf tucking? She's an auto and I'm kinda scared to cut her leaves.

Hi everybody! I was wondering if anybody has some experience with a light on/light off schedule? 2h light, half hour dark. For a lightcycle of 12h total. My lamps tend to get pretty hot, seeing how they are built in a closet I don't want them to get too hot.. Advice wanted! :D

I’m planning to water cure my weed. Is it necessary to flush my plants or not; and instead continue the nutes for a week more than was planned ( since all the nutes, chlorophyll etc will be diluted in the distilled water during the water curing process ) and why ?!
